Hi everyone,
If anyone has been following my threads, I've been having a beast of a time with my 8100, and also 6100 (though that is now good to go). Soon, the time will come for me to recap my PB 1400 and replace its PRAM battery. I know people are wary of the PRAM battery, but I really do want to figure out how to replace it. I like having my machines 100% functional. As for the rest of the capacitors, I took a look at the take-apart manual, and it looks plain daunting. This is one reason I don't like working on PowerBooks! Mine is a 1400c/133 model, with 1.3 GB HD and also 8x CD drive. It really is a nice machine, and I have had it since about 2001 or so. I want to get this recap right the first time, so I am looking to make sure that I don't fall into some sort of common pitfalls. Who has undertaken this project before? Did you save a list of what capacitors you used? Are there any common areas I should look at while I am inside?
As always, all suggestions are appreciated.
